When I was riding in L.A., I thought of many drivers I saw as ‘Left Seat Zombies’ or ‘Left Seat Passengers’. They were sitting behind the steering wheel, but they looked like they were just along for the ride. Their blank expressions and total lack of looking around were amazing… and disturbing. I used to play ‘Spot the Murderer’, where I tried to guess which clueless driver was going to try to kill me.
